Mark Zuckerberg Vows To Provide A Safe Space For Persecuted Muslims

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg posted this quote, presumably to Facebook: “If you’re a Muslim in this community, as the leader of Facebook, I want you to know that you are always welcome here and that we will fight to protect your rights and create a peaceful and safe environment for you.”

Writing in The Austrian, Jeff Deist exposed more of “creep” Zuckerberg’s notorious George-Soros type machinations:

“… head Facebook creep Zuckerberg recently was overheard at a UN summit telling Angela Merkel that he would get to work on suppressing Facebook comments by Germans who have the audacity to object to the government’s handling of migrants.”

The fact that Facebook is Zuckerberg’s—it’s private property—doesn’t make the owner’s impetus less sickening.

Where Are The Celebrities To Protest Idaho Rancher’s Death-By-Cop?

Nobody will march for the right to life of 62-year-old Idaho rancher Jack Yantis. Certainly not Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino.

Cop brutality is an endemic problem, but so is the immoral, meddlesome and mindless nature of celebrity in America. Do you suppose Tarantino, marching with Black Lives Matter or some proxy thereof, would protest the murder by cop, Sunday Nov. 1, of Mr. Yantis?

The Idaho rancher was shot dead by cops when he appeared on the scene of a car crash adjacent to his farm, involving one of his bulls. The cops were about to put the animal down. You know that the obedient (white) rural community of Adams County, Idaho, will accept the loss of one of theirs and move on.

Trump’s Private Property Plunder Plan

Economy, Private Property, Taxation

The government has several ways to pay for its obligations, one of which is to seize private property in the form of taxes. Taxes are private property plundered. A tax cut for those who pay taxes is tantamount to a return of stolen goods.

With a tax cut, the plundering class simply agrees to pilfer less. The notion that you must “pay for tax cuts” is like a burglar promising to return the television he stole as soon as he is in a better financial position.

I get a headache from just reading Donald Trump’s plunder plan. Rand Paul’s taxation policy is the best in a bad bunch. Rand “has proposed a 14.5 percent flat-tax rate for all types of income.” Equality under the law? What a concept? A flat tax limits state theft. The idea would send the socialist pope in search of sackcloth and ashes.

Trump, on the other hand, has let the low-income cohort off the hook. “Individuals that make less than $25,000 (and $50,000 for married couples) would pay no income taxes under Trump’s plan.”(CNN)

BAD. All citizens should have a dog in this fight. Better to let the so-called poor set the flat-tax rate for all of us. It would be lower than Paul’s 14.5 percent.

Trump’s plan is progressive: the more private property you accrue, the greater the percentage of which you forfeit.

HORRIBLE.

Unspecified, too, at least in this WSJ article, is the burden Trump plans to place on those earning between $100,000 and $300,000.

A Bargain: Half A Billion Dollars To Train 4-5 Syrians

Middle East, Military, Private Property, The State

How corrupt and inept must you and your organization be to have spent half a billion dollars and to have produced only “4 or 5” trained people on the battlefield? The answer: As big as only the US government and military can be. You must also be a special can of stupid—statist stupid—to think that training hungry Arabs to do what you think they should be doing is anything but unethical (to them and to US taxpayers) and unworkable.

A US training program for Syrian rebels—oh, yes, US boots are on the Syrian ground; have been for a long time—was started back in May of this year. As is always the case with money not your own, for which you are not answerable—you squander it.

MSNBC:

Senate testimony of Centcom commander, General Lloyd Austin, that the U.S. plan to train thousands of Syrian opposition soldiers has cost half a billion dollars and results in “4 or 5” trained people on the battlefield.

“Not 4 divisions or 4 battalions or even 4 platoons,” mocked Rachel Maddow, “but 4, maybe 5 individuals.”

That’s government efficiency for you.
